Awhile ago I read the homepage and decided that the first paragraph was a very good example of BS.

"The world is awash in bullshit. Politicians are unconstrained by facts. Science is conducted by press release. Higher education rewards bullshit over analytic thought. Startup culture elevates bullshit to high art. Advertisers wink conspiratorially and invite us to join them in seeing through all the bullshit — and take advantage of our lowered guard to bombard us with bullshit of the second order. The majority of administrative activity, whether in private business or the public sphere, seems to be little more than a sophisticated exercise in the combinatorial reassembly of bullshit".

You want the course material delivered in the course description? A bithyperbolic perhaps, but then a course description is a form of advertisingin itself.

I'd say there's some degree of truth in all those claims. The course concernsitself with recognizing bullshit and countering it.

"Our aim in this course is to teach you how to think critically about the dataand models that constitute evidence in the social and natural sciences."
